I drink hot coffee with a teaspoon of sugar on Sundays at church. Every day, I drink hot tea sweetened with 1 tbsp of raw organic honey and 1/2 squeezed lemon. I log the honey and sugar.0

Unfortunately, the idea of a "negative calorie" has very little to support it. Drink coffee if you enjoy it, but don't count on it eliminating any of the calories that you are eating.0 -

No, I wouldn't like to use it as a buffer to calories but it would be nice if it where true0 -
I log it. I log my spices too.0
-
I log the 2% or whole milk I put in the coffee since I use splenda. The 5 calories in a cup is negligent to me, never had any issues staying on track because I didn't log 5-10 calories. I know the little things add up, so I track other things that I wouldn't normally eat. Today I tried a small bite of someone's beet garlic yogurt salad and I logged that even though it couldn't have been more than 10 cals.0

Powdered splenda has calories (4 per teaspoon). If you're using it in any quantity to sweeten anything more than coffee, it can add up. If you're not, it's not a big deal.
I was using a fair bit of it, so I switched to a liquid form of sucralose to save those calories.0 -
I don't log tea or coffee or other similar items (near 0 calories). I don't eat/drink nearly enough for it to have any significant impact. That little amount (even every day) pales in comparison to the gross estimates I use for daily energy expenditure.
If my weight loss wasn't tracking near perfectly to my plan then I might sing a different tune.0 -
Oh, I only use it in coffee. If I baked with it or something, I'd add it.0
-
hmmm, i don't log my coffee or the milk i use in it as it's minimal and I have lost weight despite of it. I do sometimes drink coffee and miss lunch which i know isn't good but it does allow me a slightly more fulfilling dinner! I will sometimes eat a piece of fruit late afternoon if I feel rubbish for lack of food aswell0
-
haha i definitely use it to replace food! (but only to replace food i would have eaten out of boredom, not hunger.)
i love a good hot cup of coffee!0 -
I don't log any calories for the actual coffee, but I log whatever I put in it.0
-
one americano every morning with whole milk, sometimes with cinnamon, cinnamon and cumin, or pumpkin spice mix. I only log the milk.0
-
I still haven't cut my fancy calorie packed creamers..so yeah I just plunck down an extra 160 calories for the day...uggghhhh its on my list to start drinking my coffee black but I just dnt like it and I need my caffeine; but I also need to fit in pants with buttons. 1st world problems. The struggle is real0
-
I drink two cups (large cups) black with no sugar per day. I do occasionally have another in mid afternoon if I need energy boost and can't go for walk. I Have never logged it except to count towards my water tracking. I have lost 54 lbs.
You count coffee as part of your water tracking? I never thought to do that. I know water tracking is pretty pointless, really, but I like doing it I do go off the color of urine, but I'm weird and like to see how many cups of water it takes to get to hydrated pee colors LMAO

I went off milk 17 years ago when i was pregnant with my eldest son and I've never drank it since. but I do tend to drink A LOT of coffee0 -
I log the coffee (for the potassium), as well as any milk or half and half I put in it.0

If I'm not mistaken, you can include coffee if you are tracking your intake of water. I'd had a fitness consultant tell me that it goes to your liquid intake.0

It would be interesting if anyone knows if this is correct.0 -
It is. Liquid is liquid.0
-
I started logging the coffee because it looks weird in my diary to have "2 tbsp half and half" as a snack.0
-
I log it. Habit.0
-
I log my coffee, because I feel like it helps me cut back on caffeine and I will drink less if I am logging it. I definitely log the milk or creamer because those calories add up.0
-
I drink black coffee and coffee is 2 calories a cup
I drink about 7 big mugs a day...that is 14 cups and so 28 calories
Not much
but when your deficit is only 150 calories than accuracy is a must. So i am as accurate as possible and log everything that has calories....
Another factor is that i need to monitor my potassium intake, and coffee has a fair amount of potassium. I hit my requirement of 3000 mg a day on a regular base as long as i log all my veggies and spices and yes coffee too
And that is how i lost my weight and try to find maintenance level atm.
But everybody is different and with a bigger deficit yes i can imagine that you dont bother to log it.

It is correct. The diuretic effect of the caffeine is not enough to offset/negate the water you consume (since coffee is just flavored water). The same goes for soda, etc.
Here's the abstract of one study in which they evaluated the diuretic effect of caffeinated drinks compared to water: europepmc.org/abstract/MED/121876180 -
